    No we are not.

    What we are interested in is a spectacle that will make boxing history. Lets face it, a fight in Vegas will be sterile compared to Wembley. Also, the fight probably makes more money being held in London. I guarantee that more Brits will buy the ppv than for the Mayweather fight.

    Im guessing over 1,500,000 ppvs in the Uk alone for this fight.

      There will be more PPV buys if the fights happen in Vegas rather than Wembley...

        How?

        Neither fighter is an American. I bet this fight does not break 700,000 ppv if it is held in the U.S.

        The UK ppv for Hatton vs Mayweather was 1,400,000. Hatton vs Pacman is a bigger fight and will probably break UK ppv records if held in London.

          They should have this fight at Wembley in England - and not at 2 am, but in the evening. Stop catering to the Amnericans!

          It will be HUGE in the UK and Phillipines - they don't need the overrated US to make a lot of money.

            British people have stayed up a many times to watch US fights so they should be allowed to host the fight at any time they chose.

                all this talk of putting a boxing fight on in Wembley.


                has that ever been done before?

                BUMP
                Not the new Wembley, but Henry Cooper and Cassius Clay fought at the old wembley. Cooper was cheated out that fight!

                    Whats to understand? Whether this fight is held in London or Vegas there will be much more Fillapino and Brits buying the PPV than Americans, add to that the gate of Wembley, it could well break the UK record. Wembley would be a spectacle as someone else has said, Vegas would just be another fight. Seriously, it isn't like it used to be, so many fights are held in Casino's and Hotels now its unreal!!!

                      There was no extended time in the corner of Ali. They used a stop watch to time the whole corner work session and it was legit.
